The X-Men return from the Secret Wars and find themselves in Japan where a large dragon is menacing Tokyo (go figure). Wolverine promises to look after a little girl (Amiko) whose parents are killed. Senator Kelly proposes the Mutant Control Act.

The X-Men beat back the Dire Wraiths with magical help. The Adversary totally takes over Naze. Lee pulls Magneto out of the ocean. Rachel joins the team and re-caps her history (From Uncanny #141 and 142).

Callisto rescues Professor X and returns him to the mansion decked out in Morlock gear (which the rest of the X-Men find incredibly funny). The Hellions capture Banshee and dare the X-Men to come and rescue him. The X-Men prevail but Thunderbird comes after Xavier in retaliation for his brother's death (way back in X-Men #95). Xavier talks him out of his quest for revenge and both Thunderbird and Firestar are asked to join the team (and both decline).
